The water system is adequate and available for the <br />Annexation Area. <br />The City can also provide solid waste collection services to the <br />Annexation Area without additional equipment or personnel. <br />B.

Police services to be provided to the Annexation Area <br />will include traffic patrol, preventive patrol, crime deterence, <br />police reporting services, and emergency responses by the <br />Department. <br />Police protection of the scope detailed herein will be furnished to <br />the Annexation Area within one (1) year after the effective date of <br />the annexation. Police Officials recommend, however, that the <br />additional officers and beat allocation be in place at the start of <br />the construction of the project to deter theft of building <br />materials and tools and to provide emergency response for medical <br />and police matters. <br />The Annexation Area will account for approximately 5 percent of the <br />cost of the beat. The South Bend Police Department estimates this <br />to be a total yearly cost of approximately $8500. Personnel costs <br />will be included in the annual operating budget of the Police <br />Department. Vehicle costs will be paid from either the Cumulative <br />Capital Development Fund or the General Fund. <br />C.
